Restore the computer with windows media center, but I am asked for a second disk. I don't have this drive.

I put in the first disc of the Media Center and it worked very well. He told me to delete disk1 when he did and install service pack 1 disc. There is no such disk included. AM I also supposed to have a disk of windows xp professional too, cause I don't have. Need help restoring my computer. Right now I can't really do anything with it. (Use another computer to write it).

Audio stuttering then crash by watching the video with Windows Media center
I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center which seems to have left me speechless. Whenever I have try and watch live TV or recorded using Media Center program, he starts to play to repeat the first second of audio for about 6 seconds and then stops playing gives me an video error and won't let watch me something else. I have a Setup Xbox 360 as an Extender and having no problem whatsoever. The strange thing is that, if I open the program saved directly from Explorer windows with media center, it will play well. If I stop and try and then click RESUME He stutters and gives me this video error.
It used to work fine until I started to play with the audio settings from 5.1 to 7.1 audio in the windows configuration settings. I changed the settings in-game your 7.1 speakers. Actually I tried to switch back, but when I try to 'Test' the speakers it gives a sound like it is stuttering and I still get the video error when I try to play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center which seems to have left me speechless.

You may need to reset if necessary WMC.
Run the Setup again.
Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation
Does that help?
If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.
Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

Hello chisox05matt,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.
You can check with the device manufacturer for more information about recording and playback. This can occur if the video was recorded in landscape mode. Try to change the display or orientation in software video editing for playback in Windows Media Center or Windows Media player.
In addition, you can also see the thread below that contains information about a similar problem.
I hope this information is useful.
Thank you, Mary

I'm syncing my MP3 player with my computer (copy MP3s from it in my music folder), but I cannont find a way to synchronize as I want. It's copy MP3 files in the folder and they are stored in subfolders in Album titles. It is also copied to as just the title of the song under the file name instead of "Artist - title" because they were copied as original. How can I change the way in which they are copied?
Please go to Options of WMP - devices, double-click the MP3 player and change the creation on device settings folder hierarchy. Who help me?

With windows media center on the network.
I have my directv and computers connected to the internet and I try to use windows media center, but it says that it cannot find the tuner when I try to set up the tv. I have a Toshiba A215 with Windows Vista home premium (which apparently has no tuner). I need a tuner since I have everything connected to a network? My tv wil recognize the computer: I use directv VOD and can get pictures from my computer, but the library does not recognize the tv. I use media center as it seems it would be an easy way to organize media. I was also wondering if you can use media center or y at - it another way to other internet videos on TV (i.e. youtube...). I have some suggestions that I'm not a person savy very tech.
Thanks, BuckyTC

Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?
I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:
"Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD
my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.
I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just
scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing
rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.
No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's
automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely
that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives
and ASUS.
I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:
Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.

Problems with Windows Media Center cumulative update 2
Hello
I tried to set up my xbox360 to work with windows media center. Whenever I try to install the Update Rollup 2, he created a restore point and as soon as he arrives to install the fix, says installation failed and my computer must be restarted or something to that effect. I did some research and found the threads on the .NET framework 1.1 Hotfix and checked for her and she does not appear in my programs add/delete, menu, so I don't think that may be worth. It drives me crazy, any help would be appreciated seriously.
Yes - you will need to reinstall Windows to fix. And, Yes, you will need to backup your data first and reinstall all your programs later.
I'll post instructions later tonight (they are on a machine at home). In the meantime, now is a good time to start copying all your data to elsewhere.

Error: "Tuner not found" with Windows Media Center
Original title: someone at - there a solution to this problem of Tuner not found with Windows Media Center? I tried for several years to find an answer to this embarrassing problem without success.
I did just about everything, including a restoration of the complete system without success. It would be nice to be able to use my Windows Media Center to watch live TV and record programs I would like to see later.
There is a great thread towith people have reported this problem with this tuner.Unfortunately, it looks like the only solution people have found is to replace theTuner with another brand.I don't know if it's the hardware failure or something else, but looking at thiswire, if it was ME, I cut my losses and replace the tuner.BarbMVP - Windows/entertainment and connected homePlease mark as answer if that answers your question -
